Antoinette Conway
About The Secret Place and The Trespasser by Tana French...
A Dublin murder squad detective with a massive working-class chip on her shoulder, Antoinette is cynical, blunt1, perceptive, and tenacious - and nobody likes her. At least not most of her colleagues, and because of the exact same qualities that make her good at her job. Constantly at odds2 with her squadmates and assuming they're all waiting for her to fail3, Antoinette's obsession proving them wrong verges on paranoia at times.

Kinsey Millhone
About The Alphabet series by Sue Grafton...
Kinsey was one of the pioneering female private investigators in the 80s, and while we've followed her through 2 alphabetised mysteries so far, Kinsey's cases have all been conducted in that decade, so all of her adventures take place in a period of a few years. She is smart and pragmatic1 - decidedly not reckless2 like many fictional detectives (my own included) - and quite rightly hugely popular.

Anna Lee
About Under Contract, Backland and four other novels by Liza Cody...
Preceding Kinsey Millhone, London's Anna Lee, who first appeared in 1980's Dupe isn't especially well known in the US, but she should be. Smart, sly1, exceedingly competent, Anna has a deliciously droll2 voice, as she deals expertly with sexism from her co-workers at Brierly Security - including the only other woman in the office, her boss's secretary.
